NAPTUN

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a dramatic sequence of landmarks including Mount Vesuvius, the Amalfi Coast, and the western tip of Sicily before the final approach into North Africa.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌋

Mount Vesuvius

Immediately after takeoff, see the towering silhouette of the volcano and the sprawling ruins of Pompeii.

🍋

Amalfi Coast & Capri

Stunning views of the rugged Sorrento Peninsula and the white limestone cliffs of Capri island.

⛰️

Sicilian West Coast

Visuals of Mount Erice and the salt pans of Trapani as the flight passes over western Sicily.

🏝️

Egadi Islands

The butterfly-shaped island of Favignana and the rocky outcrops of Levanzo in the turquoise sea.

🌅

Cape Bon

The first sight of the African continent, featuring the fertile peninsula and coastal towns of Tunisia.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Italian coastline. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on the right, meaning the left side will have perfect lighting for photography without glare. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes for the Gulf of Naples.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏘️

Ischia and Procida

The colorful volcanic islands in the Gulf of Naples are visible shortly after departure from NAP.

🟦

Tyrrhenian Sea

Expansive views of deep blue Mediterranean waters and occasional sightings of the Pontine Islands.

🏛️

Ruins of Carthage

On the final descent, look for the ancient Roman and Punic archaeological sites near the coast.

🦩

Lake of Tunis

The shallow lagoon between the city of Tunis and the Gulf, often reflecting the sky brilliantly.

The right side is excellent for morning flights to avoid the direct sun. During the descent into Tunis, this side often provides a clearer view of the white-and-blue village of Sidi Bou Said and the historic Carthage district depending on the wind direction.
